How can Google be letting you down? Simple – the event name doesn’t always have the city name in it (eg: T­E­Dx­Covent­Garden­Women is in London, for example). Or, the cities close by in a metropolitan area, or a TEDx at a university (eg: TEDxUW is at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Canada).

This creates a MASSIVE amount of competition for just a few events, while others are much easier to get selected for!

Instead of relying on Google (and missing out on thousands of TEDx speaking opportunities), there’s a better way.

“I found like 35 events nearby where I live… 35+!!…It wasn’t a total surprise in the sense I knew there were local events all over North Carolina — however, never had I realized they were THAT many across the state!” – Lindsay Ruiz
